Arrow advice for Black Hunter Takedown Recurve

By

Hi everyone!

I've been dabbling in some archery for the past month or so and I am really enjoying it! The club I go to focuses mostly on compounds for beginners, which is fine, but I have a bit of a soft spot for recurves and the more traditional side of archery. For this reason, and for financial ones, I've decided my first personal bow will most probably be a recurve, a Black Hunter Takedown (given the overall very positive experiences most people have with it and its price). I will keep shooting a bit with the compound as well and I know that as a beginner, the most important thing is to learn proper form.

For those who don't know anything about the Black Hunter, the main specs for the one I might buy are:

- 60" height / 30 lbs@28" / Max. draw length 31" / Bamboo core / Laminated wood and fibre glass limbs. (My own max. draw length is about 26.5", I'm a woman, about 5'6", or 170cm).

My question to anyone who knows of this bow and especially to those of you who shoot one yourself: what arrows do you normally use with it / would you recommend?

I've spoken to one guy who knows quite a bit about recurves and he recommended carbon arrows with 800 spine and about 100gr tips. The most popular (and most reasonably priced?) carbon arrows I've seen so far are:

- Skylon Archery "Frontier", 33" in length;

- Bearpaw "Pentathlon Bandit", up to 32.5" in length.

Open to suggestions / corrections / anything - just bear in mind I'm a noob, so please don't be too harsh if I've said anything stupid! It's all still very confusing and too many numbers to make sense of. If you need any other info, please let me know.

Thank you for reading and Happy New Year!

Shibuya vs Axcel vs other top end sights?

By
So my budget has increased and i decided i'm going for a top-level sight for the target style recurve i'm building. It seems that Shibuya and Axcel are the top end, so for anyone who has experience with either one of them, or preferably both, could you tell me the differences, pros and cons, and which one is the best value? i'm planning on buying the most expensive, so the Axcel Achieve XP - Recurve or the Shibuya Ultima RC PRO Carbon Sight . If there's any other top end sights you think are better, let me know. I want this to be the first and last sight that i ever buy, and price doesn't really matter. Another question, on the Shibuya there's an option for "Single mount" and "Double mount." What do those mean? And lastly, is the sight aperture on either of the sights suitable, or is there better after-market apertures that are better? I'm sort of thinking that is something I should be buying from my local shop so i can actually te...

Question on bow fit - Mathews V3 31"

By
Long story short: I decided after 2 years to upgrade my used Dreniln. Went in to a local shop and they steered me towards a V3. In hindsight they didn't spend near as much time with me as they should have. Anyway, my wingspan is just under 76" and the bow is set at it's max draw length of 30.5". In order to get a good sight picture and have my nose touch the string, I need to tilt my head down just slightly, which then causes my jaw to change position and a loose a bit of my anchor point. Is this common for a shorter bow, or should I really have gone with a bow that goes to 31" and/or a longer axle to axle to get a better angle? V3s are hard to come by around here so I may be able to recoup most of the cost of the bow if I decide to switch. Not sure what to do. I went back to the bow shop and the guy said "That's the cool thing about archery, some people move there head, lean back, lean forward, it's all a matter of how you want to shoot"...I...

Recurve string hitting wrist area...

By
Hi, ​ I just upgraded my 26lb to a 40lb bow, I'm loving it's power but I am having a consistent issue with hitting my wrist with the string every time I full draw, never with half draw, please see: https://imgur.com/sltnRTI ​ I have tried different hand positions, like rotating my wrist away from the strings path but it just feels so unsteady when drawing. I don't feel like I'm holding it majorly wrong, I never encountered this issue with my 26lb so I'm a little confused about what the cause may be. ​ Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am still pretty nooby with archery so perhaps I am just dumb. ​ I believe my brace height is 7.5 inches if that helps, it is a 70" bow, my hand is comfortable on the grip when drawing, it isnt majorly up or down, and looks straight to me, and like i say, rotating it away just leaves me with little control over the bow. ​ Edit: My string is a 70" string, the riser for my new bow is 1" longer than my 26lb...
